Trauma-Informed Meditation Teacher Training

Become a confident, compassionate meditation teacher — grounded in nervous system safety. 

In a world that is moving faster, louder, and more demanding than ever before, meditation is no longer a luxury — it is a necessity. 

Yet for many people living with chronic stress, anxiety, burnout, or trauma, traditional meditation practices can feel overwhelming, activating, or simply out of reach. Being told to “sit still,” “clear the mind,” or “just breathe” can unintentionally do more harm than good. 

This is where trauma-informed meditation becomes not just helpful — but essential. 

Our Trauma-Informed Meditation Teacher Training has been thoughtfully and lovingly created to empower you to guide meditation in a way that is safe, inclusive, embodied, and deeply supportive of the nervous system. This training honours the lived experiences people bring into the room and teaches you how to meet them with compassion, skill, and confidence. 

This course goes far beyond meditation scripts or techniques. You will learn how to truly hold space.

In this training, you will learn how to: 
  • Teach meditation through a nervous-system-informed lens 
  • Create environments where people feel seen, safe, and supported 
  • Guide practices using choice, consent, and trauma-aware language 
  • Understand the stress response and the relaxation response 
  • Support regulation rather than bypassing or pushing 
  • Hold space with clarity, confidence, and authenticity 
  • Teach meditation that meets people *exactly where they are — not where they “should” be. 

Why become a trauma-informed meditation teacher? 
As a trauma-informed meditation teacher, you will: 
  • Support others to gently regulate their nervous systems 
  • Help reduce stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm 
  • Offer practices that feel grounding, and empowering 
  • Teach with professional integrity, sensitivity, and confidence 
  • Deepen your own self-connection, regulation, and embodiment 
  • Stand out as a teacher who truly understands how and why meditation heals. 

Whether you wish to teach professionally or deepen your own practice, this course offers a powerful foundation that will transform how you relate to meditation — and how you guide others within it. 
“This training changed the way I hold space forever. I now teach meditation with confidence, softness, and deep respect for the nervous system. My students feel it — and so do I"
